Idea: Short posts that tell Mastodon users how Hubzilla is not just like Mastodon; CW: long (well over 1,100 characters), Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta

View summary
Maybe I should start an irregular series of "What Hubzilla is like" posts for people in the Fediverse, Mastodon specifically, who don't know anything about it. Not for those who want to switch, but for those who assume that Hubzilla is just like whatever else they know. Like, for Mastodon users who blindly assume that Hubzilla is just like Mastodon with a different UI and then act accordingly. Thus, it'd mostly focus on how Hubzilla is different from Mastodon.
The difficult part would be to limit these posts to only 500 characters. Minus what I'll need for the hashtags, namely #
Hubzilla, #
FediTips and #
FediverseTips to increase discoverability for those who are interested and #
FediMeta, #
FediverseMeta, #
CWFediMeta and #
CWFediverseMeta so that these posts are automatically removed or hidden behind generated content warnings by already existing filters. Because I know for a fact that many Mastodon users won't touch anything that goes even a smidge over 500 characters. And I know that there are Mastodon users for whom any and all Fediverse meta is too nerve-gratingly techy.
